Blinds

You must learn in your sleep, then, SNL. LOL Of course, that's how you learned at school.

Here's the mailman's Valhalla Palace. It's built with a horse panel that's 20 ft long. Since these pics we've blackened the interior. It's big enough for a couple hunters and their gear.

This is my blind at my Hilltop Feeder. I have my protein and corn feeder at about 18 yards, about 20 feet apart. The blind and pen are surrounded by a barbed wire fence. the pen is pretty big. The blind is just inside the pen, so I can chum inside and out. The only reason for the pen is you never know when they'll bring in about 500 steers to eat the wheat. during those times, without the fence, the steers would not only eat my protein and try and lick up my corn, but they would destroy my blind. The barbed wire solved that.

Thanks doc for the pics....
However you ended up with mailman as a son in law is a crying shame....

Of course if he had invited me on the doe/spike hunt this past weekend, I might have scored one in his favor....

Next time he may learn which Kelly brother can hunt.....

Keep the pics / lessons flowing we are all learning....

When I grow up I wanna be Tuthdoc.

I hunt out of several tripods. This first one has been redone with netting. I had ironweed and poverty weed and cedar limbs in it when I first set it up. When they all died and fell out, I used military netting as the main camoflauge with shooting holes cut in it. It's in a Hackberry thicket and is really concealed until the leaves fall off. With the thick bush and the netting, I can still hunt it after the leaves fall, but it's not quite as easy. I killed the Big Baby 8 out of this stand as well as several does and my 7 point cull this year. My protein feeder is about 50 to 75 yards west of me. I can watch the deer come and go. I hand chum the tree in front of me, which is 16 yards. Lots of deer here.

If you look really close you can see the foot of the tripod. Other than that you just have to trust me that it's in there. LOL Last pic is a hunter's view of the tree.

The third pic is a pic of the size tripod that's in the bush. About 6 ft to the base.

Doc, does the military camo netting work good?

Thanks

Here's a couple other blinds I had set up on the Junco this past year.

I only sat in this one a couple times. A lot of bucks, just nothing I wanted to shoot. Some nice young ones. It's another CV with Safari. The safari system had taken a beating on this blind. It had been in a real thicket and putting it up, taking it down, and the wind really tore the stuff up. I used some viney stuff that was in the area and draped it around limbs and stuff and it did a good job of breaking up the outline.

[tuthdoc]

It works really well. I use it in almost all my sets. I wish I had bought more when Sportsman Guide had the 16x16 on sale for 29 bucks. I was an idiot and only bought 4. I'd like some of the lighter desert color for my darker blinds like the one above at my Hilltop. I think it would break up the dark color, not that the deer have cared.

Just another reason Tuthdoc is my all time favorite TBH poster. I miss his posts during hunting season!

I have a huge camo net that I am going to make a blond out of, just haven't done it yet.

Thanks, Doc.
